Linking your phone

If you don’t see the Phone option in Settings, you’re not running Windows 10 version 1709 or later. To install the latest version of Windows 10, select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & Security and select Check for updates.

Select Add a phone, then enter your phone number and follow the instructions.

Look for a text message from Microsoft on your phone. Once you receive the text, open it and tap the link.

The link will open the App Store (on iPhones) or the Google Play Store (on Android phones) to a Microsoft app that links your phone and PC. Install the app.

Once it's installed, open the app, and sign in with your Microsoft account (use the same Microsoft account on both your phone and PC).

Choosing Continue later on your phone will send your cross-device experience as a notification to action center on your linked PC(s). This is a good option when you’re not near your PC, or you want to remember to open a webpage, doc, or other experience on your PC later.
